I know that this is a referee forum and all, BUT a scoring question

Once again, I apologize for the question, but it struck me as odd. I could not find any such information via a google search. Thanks.

I'm unaware of any formal scoring guidelines for HS soccer. I personally would credit the keeper with an own goal as it is his action that caused the goal to be scored.
